*40+ The target got away; all eyes were on Franco from
ZMotion. After a couple of attempts a break of six got away.
Sosa, Franco, Gonzalez, Coleman, Trujillo and Cortes opened a
good gap; top five on GC were there but as Cortes said” Ivan
went and went and that was it”. Now he is in a solo until the
end to win the day and get first place overall. The other five
got caught by the bunch, and Ortiz wins the field sprint. Sosa
on GC is now in second place followed by Gonzalez in third.
*50+ Strong break consolidated at front about 20 minutes into
the race, right after many attack from Bike America just to wear
out riders. They were Hurtado, Lincoln, Clossick, Fetko and
Julian, keeping a good gap. But Carlos initiated a chase
followed by Angel and Tittle; somehow after the crash the pack
was all back together. The top three on GC continue getting top
three for the day, this time Julian got first and seats second
over all, followed by Rosenthal and Carlos; that continues first
overall.
*Pro Travieso, Franco and Cueli, have small gap, less than10
seconds, Current leader Pol, gets out of the road right before
last turn onto the grass. He desired not to continue racing for
the day. Coco’s DT tells Travieso to put the hammer down since
Pol was out; and did; lapping the field. Not only that but he
wins the pack sprint and wins the race. Now Travieso is second
overall with the same amount of points that current leader Pol.
Zayas moved third place overall.
*4&5 Many solo attempts by Noritake, Daniel, Alayon, and
Delsol-Rodriguez happened without success, but the kept jumping
and jumping; until finally Daniel and Alayon got together
opening a gap that the pack could not close. The top contenders
decided to wait for the final sprint to collect the points left.
Daniel gets final sprint to win the race. Yepes form Sun Cycling
wins the bunch sprint to get third place. For the overall
Cristia kept first place just by one point, from his team mate
Daniel and one point behind him is Abdel Salas. Interested to
see how it develops next race.
